[Bug 882670] Re: lb_chroot_dpkg doesn't check dpkg version before setting 'unsafe-io' option

[Neil Wilson]

I'm using live build to build virtual machines and I noticed this and
I thought I'd report it as it was an easy fix.

I was rather hoping to do what I wanted as an extension to the
standard live-build, but that subsequently seems impossible so I've
just forked the code for my purposes.

Title:
  lb_chroot_dpkg doesn't check dpkg version before setting 'unsafe-io'
  option

Status in “live-build” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “live-build” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The dpkg in the chroot (on a lucid build for example) might not be new
  enough to handle the 'unsafe-io' option set in the configuration file.

  lb_chroot_dpkg should check the chroot's dpkg capability first, e.g.

  Chroot chroot dpkg --force-help | grep -q unsafe-io
